프랑스어 시제 감잡기! | Je suis → J’étais / J’ai été 차이 느껴보기 🇨🇵🇪🇺

Hello everyone! I'm a little late today. How are you enjoying this Friday, the start of the weekend? The French grammar we'll cover in today's video is the difference between "j'étais" and "j'ai été." "J'étais" and "J'ai été" both mean "I was," so I remember receiving a lot of questions like, "What's the difference?" So, I prepared today's video. French verb conjugation goes beyond simply indicating "when something happened." Even in the same past tense, the tense used changes depending on whether the event was ongoing, ended, or still felt. For example, in Korean, even if you simply say "I was at home then," context and tone convey whether it was a long stay, a brief visit, or a lingering feeling. However, in French, the verb tense itself makes this distinction clear! J'étais → 'I was at home then.' (continued state) J’ai été → 'I was at home.' (One-time, finished feeling) Looking at it this way, French tenses are a sophisticated linguistic tool that expresses time while also conveying emotion and context. If you can accurately distinguish between these two expressions, your French will sound much more natural and sophisticated. So, in this video, I'll help you naturally feel the difference and express it in your own words through real-life examples! Let's have fun and enjoy today! Stay with us until the end. Let's be together until the day French becomes your language 😍 #TravelFrench, #PracticalFrench, #FranceTravel, #WorldTravel, #FranceBackpacking, #ParisTravel, #ParisBackpacking, #French, #SelfStudyFrench, #FrenchGrammar, #French, #SelfStudyFrench, #FrenchGrammar, #StudyAbroadFrance #FrenchTense #FrenchTense
